A Celebration of Coast, Community & Craft.
Whitstable Harbour Day returns on 15 August 2026 with another unforgettable celebration of our town’s maritime heritage, local talent and vibrant coastal culture. Building on the success of previous Harbour & Boat Shows, the 2026 event promises a full day of family‑friendly entertainment, hands‑on activities and the unique atmosphere that makes Whitstable such a special place to live and visit.
Visitors can look forward to a bustling harbour packed with stalls, demonstrations and displays from local makers, charities and maritime organisations. Expect traditional boats, coastal crafts, live performances and plenty of opportunities to learn about Whitstable’s rich seafaring history. Whether you’re here for the food, the music, the boats or simply the buzz of the harbour, there will be something for everyone.
As always, entry is free and the event is designed to bring the whole community together – from long‑time residents to first‑time visitors. More details, including the full programme and exhibitor information, will be released closer to the date.
Stay tuned, spread the word and get ready to celebrate Whitstable Harbour Day 2026 in true coastal style. If you would like to get involved, get in touch with us via our contact form below:
